USMC Sniper in Iraq 2004 Stopped

Post by Jip »

Hello,

I hope that's ok to do a figure for this group build. I did have a figure from Alpine Miniatures in my stash and I thought I would be a nice subject for this group build. I want to make a USMC Sniper who was active in Iraq and I will paint him in desert colors.
It's also a project for the remembrance of those who never came home.

The box and what's inside the box:

I will start with cleaning the parts, there are some nice blocks on the figure, so that will take some work. After that I will assemble the parts that will get the same color and then cleaning again to prepare the figure for the primer coat.

Thanks for watching and question are welcome.
Johanna

A small update. I have cleaned all parts and put some parts together because they get the same color. The next step is a primer coat.
